"Ji Hyo-ah.. "
She awakens with the voice of her mom. She rolls on her bed and opens one eye to take a peek at the clock over her bedside table.
Then she moans hatefully when she sees that it is still 6:00 in the morning.
It is the weekend and she usually stays in bed until 9.
Her mom is saying something but she can not just hear it as she hides under her covers again.
"Hey! Get up there and go down! ", her mom says in a loud voice as her blanket is pulled off her.
"Mom! ", she complains.
"Wash your face and get down quick.", her mom orders and gets out of her room.
What can be there that her mom is telling her to come down early in a weekend?, she wonders.
So she slides off the bed with her eyes still threatening to close, marched towards her door like a zombie and heads downstairs, her hair disturbing her view as she looks down.
She passes by the living room and heads straight towards the kitchen, cometely ignoring the sudden silence that comes the moment she arrives.
She opens the refrigerator door and pulls out a pitcher of water. Then she drinks directly from it.
The cold water seems to have waken her up, for her mind ticks and the unusual sight her eyes caught while she was heading to the kitchen has just fallen into place.
She is quite certain she caught a glimpse of about 6 people in the living room.
But there is only her, her mom and dad living in the house. So how can there be 6?
Her eyes widens and she hastily heads back to the living room, water still inher mouth, only to wish the floor would immediately open and swallow her whole, for there are really 6 people in the living!
But it is not her parents, but 6 annoying boys that have successfully ruined her morning.
"Good Morning, Ji Hyo-ssi! ", Jae Suk greets.
She suddenly chokes at the water from her mouth in surprise.
"Ten! ", Ha Dong Hoon declares and holds out a hand in front of Kwang Soo, who sadly places money over it. "I told you she'sa bit slow. ", he says.
"What are you doing here? ", she asks after she clears out water from throat.
"Aiggh! Look at you!", her mom says when she comes ay their living room, looking at her critically.She is still in her pajamas and her hair is like a bird's nest and she is pretty sure there are still sleep in her eyes.
"I told you to wash your face before you come down! ", her mom says.
"Mom! Why did you not tell me they're here?! "
"I told you, young lady! ", she says as she heads to the kitchen, leaving her with the guys again.
"We knew you won't be coming so we came here to get you, noona. ", Joong Ki says.
"I'm not going. ", she says.
But then she heards a loud bunk! like something hitting the floor.
They all turn their heads to see her dad, who has just put down a trolley on the floor.
Her trolley.
"You're ready to go! ", her dad announces. Then hesitation comes into his eyes when he sees her. "Uuh.. I guess not. "
"What are you still doing here?! ", her mom asks as she pushes her back to the stairs. "Quickly change so you can leave! "
"But i'm not going! ", she resists.
But her mom is too strong that she gets pushed up a coupke of steps into the stairs. "You're going! Quickly! "
"Uughhhh!! I can't believe this! ", she yells as she stomps back to her room.
